항상
hangsang · TOPIK 1
always
恒常 = constant (恒) + usual (常): constantly the usual = always
Both hanja mean lasting or unchanging: 恒 (항) is constant, 常 (상) is usual or regular. The same 상 appears in 일상 (daily life) and 정상 (normal). Two rhyming syllables, hang-sang, doubling the idea of never changing.
